Frequently Asked Questions
Rear Camera
I insert a CD-R with music file s, but the CD button or “CD”
voice commands do not work. What is wrong? • After inserting a CD-R with WMA or
MP3 files, a slight delay may occur
before the CD button operates. Th e system needs to read the tag
information (album, artist, and track na mes) to allow searches - this is
normal.
• Ensure that the music files on the CD-R are WMA or MP3 format. Other
formats are not recognized.
• Some WMA and MP3 files are copy pr otected, and require that the
copyright authentication files accompany the MP3/WMA files on the CD.
Note:
Never use CD-R discs with stick-on labels. The labels can curl and
jam the CD mechanism, requiring re placement of the navigation unit
and subsequent loss of all personal information.
Problem Solution
When I shift gears, the rear camera image is delayed. When shifting into or out of reverse, you may experience delays when the
screen image switches between the navigation screen and the rear camera
image. This is normal.
The rear camera image is too dark or too bright. How do I
adjust the brightness? While the camera image is displayed, use the Zoom In/Zoom Out controls to
adjust the brightness. This ad
justment does not affect the Setup screen
brightness adjustments.

Miscellaneous Other Questions
ProblemSolution
My clock frequently changes forward and backward by one
hour. Why is this? The clock is being automatically set ba
sed on your GPS location. If you live
and work on the boundary between two time zones, you can turn off this
feature. See page 94.
When driving near a time zone border, the time changes even
though I am not near the time zone. Why is this? The time zone borders are only appr
oximated in the system. Depending on
the geography of the time zone boundary, the switch to a different zone can
be erratic. See page 94.
My state does not observe dayli ght saving time. How do I turn
off this feature? You can turn off this feature. See page 93.
Daylight saving time occurred, but the navigation system did
not change time even though Setup shows Auto Daylight
Saving Time is On . Go to the
Clock adjustment screen in Setup and select DST Selection.
Ensure that the correct DST schedule is selected. For more information, see
Clock Settings on page 93.
The navigation system automatic daylight time feature is not
switching the navigation system clock on the correct dates.
Why is this? 1) Go to the
Clock adjustment screen in Setup and ensure that Auto
Daylight Saving Time is On .
2) The navigation system is designed to switch to daylight saving time
according to the months selected in the DST schedule selection screen.
Ensure that the appropriate schedule is selected. For more information,
see Clock Settings on page 93.
The navigation system clock switched by one hour for no
apparent reason. Wh at can cause this? 1) You may be driving near
a time zone boundary (see Auto Time Zone by
GPS on page 94).
2) The navigation system does not switch between standard and daylight
saving time. Set Auto Daylight Saving Time to On on the Clock
adjustment screen in Setup, and ensure that the correct month switching
schedule is chosen on the DST schedule selection screen. See page 93
for more information.
